Under a DACA amnesty, American taxpayers would be left with a $26 billion bill. About one in five DACA illegal aliens, after an amnesty, would end up on food stamps, while at least one in seven would go on Medicaid. Since DACA’s inception under Obama, more than 2,100 illegal aliens have been kicked off the program after it was revealed that they were either criminals or gang members. JOHN BINDER

I’ve
often observed that, when it comes to public policy, the Obama Justice
Department has been a locus of evil. And therefore it was concerning to
see that the man who ran that Obama agency for years, the disgraced Eric
Holder, has gotten himself a new, government-related gig. On January 4
liberal California legislative leaders announced that
they are using tax dollars to hire former Attorney General Eric Holder and his
law firm to assist them in anticipated federal challenges to several state
policies such as climate change and immigration. Leftists controlling the Democratic Party are especially concerned that a new Trump administration might
actually start enforcing the rule of law against California’s dangerous and
unlawful sanctuary policies. Evidently, Eric Holder will waste taxpayer
funds defending this lawlessness.

In
a statement, Kevin
de Leon, California Senate PresidentPro Temporesaid, “With the upcoming change in
administrations, we expect that there will be extraordinary challenges for
California in the uncertain times ahead.” The California Attorney General, who
represents the State’s interest in court, already has a budgetof
$190 million.

In
response, we have filed a records request with
the California Legislature Joint Rules Committee seeking to examine legislative
records regarding the state’s employment of former Obama U.S. Attorney General
Eric Holder Jr.:

All contracts between the California Legislature and former U.S.
Attorney General Eric Holder Jr. or Covington and Burling.

All communications between the California Legislature and former
U. S. Attorney General Eric Holder Jr. or Covington and Burling about the
Legislature’s retention of Holder and/or Covington and Burling.

Holder
was one of Obama’s longest-serving and most controversial Cabinet members.

On
June 28, 2012, he became the first U.S. Attorney General to be held in contempt of Congress on
both civil and criminal grounds. The contempt charge came in connection with
Holder’s refusal to turn over documents about his agency’s lies on Operation Fast and Furious,
the Obama administration’s gun-walking scandal. JWexposed numerous outrages associated
with this scandal.

Under
Holder the Justice Department dismissed its voting rights case against
the New Black Panther Party. The Justice Department originally filed its
lawsuit against the New Black Panther Party following an incident that took
place outside of a Philadelphia polling station on November 4, 2008. According
to multiple witnesses, members of the New Black Panthers blocked access to
polling stations, harassed voters and hurled racial epithets. A video of the
incident, showing a member of the New Black Panther Party brandishing a
police-style baton weapon, was widely distributed on the Internet. JW exposed a
number ofObama DOJ lies regarding
the Black Panthers, which a federal judge validated in (Judicial Watch v. United States
Department of Justice(No.
1:10-cv-851)).

In
2013, the Obama Justice Department was caught spying on The Associated Press by
collecting months’ worth of phone records of reporters and editors. Fox
News’ James Rosen was among those targeted by
Holder’s Justice Department.

Thanks
in part toJW’s successin exposing his corruption, Holder was
forced to resign from the Justice Department in 2015 and rejoin his old law
firm of Covington & Burling.

Our
records request is designed to expose how California state legislators are
wasting tax dollars to take care of another corrupt politician – Eric Holder –
with the intention of deliberately resisting the rule of law on immigration and
other matters. His record at the Clinton and Obama Justice Departments
demonstrates a willingness to bend the law in order to protect his political
patrons.

"Even though it has gone virtually unreported
by corporate media, BreitbartNews has extensively documented the Clintons’
longstanding support for “open borders.” Interestingly, as the LosAngelesTimes observed in 2007, the Clinton’s praise forglobalization and open bordersfrequently comes when they are
speaking before a wealthy foreign audiences and donors."

The debate around Donald Trump's wall has been shaped by liberal and media narratives that focus on illegal immigrants in the U.S. The left has painted a picture of compassion for these immigrants, making them the entirety of the story. Sanctuary cities have declared safe havens for illegal immigrants, without really distinguishing between the good and the bad among them. They have also spun numbers about temporarily declining immigration rates to diminish the significance of the problem. Liberals have labeled opponents of open borders hard-hearted racists. Immigration has become one of those narrative stories, filled with human suffering, compassion, and demonized enemies, that liberals love to love.

What liberals have ignored is the severe consequences of slack U.S. borders for Mexico. Mexican society and the Mexican economy have been severely distorted and held hostage for decades by criminal gangs that make their living smuggling drugs and migrants into the U.S. Their access to and control over the U.S. border are precisely what has brought them power and wealth, while unleashing a long-term scourge on Mexican society. These gangs murder, kidnap, and extort innocent Mexican citizens. They corrupt the Mexican police and military. They transport illegal migrants to the U.S. – extorting, exploiting, raping, and murdering them along the way. They transport drugs to the U.S., undermining our civil society and killing our citizens. They instill fear and violence across Mexican society, preventing it from achieving the stable, middle-class society that NAFTA promised. These truths are well documented in news reports, testimony from ranchers who own border land, and movies.

Where is liberals' compassion, in their self-absorption and attachment to their own narratives, for the honest citizens of Mexico who are victimized in their own country by the criminal gangs fostered and financed by open U.S. borders?

Liberals have a narrative about the tons of illegal drugs these gangs transport into the U.S., too. It goes something like this: we did drugs when we were young (Choomer Obama), and it didn't harm us. Look at us now: we're running things, and isn't the world a better place? Those deplorables dying of heroin overdoses in flyover country? The real problem is the War on Drugs. If only we legalized and taxed drugs, unfortunates could get drugs easily and wouldn't have to go into debt and commit crimes to finance their habits. With the taxes, we could finance more social programs. The people who can't control themselves? We can medicalize their addictions and give them unlimited health care.

Shutting down the U.S. border will reduce or eliminate the power and wealth of these criminal gangs and their stranglehold over Mexican society. Once they no longer have access to the U.S. border, they will no longer have access to the source of their wealth and power.

Trump's wall will eliminate the reign of terror under which Mexico's honest citizens have lived for a long time. The benefits that a wall will bring to Mexican civil society and to law and order should be reasons for liberals to support Trump's wall. These benefits are also why Mexico, once it has overcome the perceived affront to its dignity, will gladly pay.

Shutting down the U.S. border will also dramatically reduce the flow of illegal drugs into the U.S., with all their negative economic and social consequences.

I'm waiting for a liberal to argue against these benefits, but I haven't found one yet.

The NARCOMEX drug cartels now operate in all major American cities and haul back to NARCOMEX between $40 top $60 BILLION from sales of HEROIN!

Mexicans abroad sent home nearly $2.4 billion in transfers in November, 24.7 percent higher than a year earlier, marking their fastest pace of expansion since March 2006, according to Mexican central bank data on Monday…

In America's open and undefended borders the Mex flag wavers suck in billions in welfare, steal our jobs, live in tax-free underground economies and then send what they make back to NARCOMEX.....IT'S TIME TO END MEXICO'S LOOTING!

Mexico City (CNSNews.com) – A previous congressional proposal and changes to banking regulations could lend support to President-elect Donald Trump’s threat to target cash transfers sent to Mexico by immigrants in the U.S. to pay for a border wall, experts say.

But they also caution that blocking or taxing the transfers – known as remittances – could face legal challenges and may force the annual flow of billions of dollars to Mexico underground, making the transfers harder to regulate.

Trump said in a memo sent to the Washington Post last March – and subsequently reproduced on his campaign website – that he could threaten to block remittances sent to Mexico as a way to force the Mexican government to pay for a border wall.

Trump said Mexico receives some $24 billion a year in remittances from Mexican nationals working in the U.S., with most that amount coming “from illegal aliens.”

Should Mexico in response agree to pay $5-10 billion to fund the wall, he wrote, then the threat to block the remittances would not be carried out.

Remittances to Mexico shot up by nearly 25 percent after Trump was elected last November, compared to 2015, Reuters has reported.

Mexico received $26.5 billion in remittances sent from the U.S. in 2016, according to the Washington policy institute, Inter-American Dialogue.

“This is one promise Mr. Trump might really keep,” David Landsman, executive director of the National Money Transmitters Association, told the institute last year.

Landsman pointed to the Remittance Status Verification Act, introduced by then-Senator David Vitter (R-La.) in 2014, which would have fined senders of international cash transfers seven percent of the transfer amount if they could not show “proof of status under U.S. immigration laws.”

The bill never advanced out of committee.

In remarks published by the Inter-American Dialogue’s “Remittance Industry Observatory” newsletter, Landsman said two General Accounting Office reports had “raised no legal obstacles to status verification.”

“There are some constitutional doubts about a remittance tax at the state level, but none at the federal level,” he noted. “Under one-party Republican rule, the Democrats will have to pick their battles, and undocumented remittance senders are non-voters.”

Reached for comment, Manuel Orozco, director of the Migration, Remittances and Development Program at Inter-American Dialogue, drew CNSNews.com’s attention to his opposing comments, published in the same newsletter.

“If migrants are required to pay taxes on their transactions, some would opt to use informal mechanisms. Others would also use informal mechanisms out of fear of being found living without legal status,” he commented. “Moreover, it would be difficult to apply the tax only to Mexicans and not to any foreign-born individual in the United States.”

“A tax on remittances to pay for a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border is technically and legally unfeasible,” Orozco said. “It would require not only the introduction of new taxes, but also an amendment to the Patriot Act to expect businesses to check immigrants’ legal status in the United States.”

However, according to a recent analysis of Trump’s proposal by The National Law Review, the Patriot Act has been updated to include companies that offer remittance services to immigrants in regulations related to the Bank Secrecy Act.

The analysis also noted that Stuart Anderson, executive director of the National Foundation for American Policy, has said that using the Patriot Act to block the money transfers would likely be “challenged in court.”

“If the new president establishes a tax on transfers, I think there would be years of lawsuits by companies and individuals,” predicted Alfredo Cuecuecha Mendoza, an economist at El Colegio de Tlaxcala, A.C., a university near Mexico City.

“A tax would have to be applied to all transfers, not just transfers made by people of Mexican origin.”

Taxing the transfers could also force immigrants to use other, unregulated means, said Alix Murphy, director of mobile partnerships at the remittances company WorldRemit.

“The fear is that more remittances will go underground,” she told CNSNews.com.

Underground methods for sending cash abroad could include carrying it across the border or using unregistered remittances brokers who have networks of associates abroad.

The brokers accept the cash in the U.S. and their associates make the payments overseas, Murphy said.

Legal money transfers by immigrants are regulated by state laws, and while senders are required to show identification, they are not required to show their immigration status, she said.

In fact, the U.S. Treasury Department allows remittance providers to accept foreign-issued IDs, and an ID issued in the US is not required, according to a 2016 analysis by the Congressional Research Service.

A poll published this week
by the newspaper Reforma puts the approval rating of Mexican
President Enrique Peña Nieto at a historic low of 12 percent, down from 24
percent in December.

This plunge reflects
popular anger over Peña Nieto’s decision to raise gasoline prices on January 1
by 20 percent. The Reforma poll showed that 85 percent
disapproved of the increase, the so-called gasolinazo.

The gasoline price rise came in the wake of a
plunging peso. The peso was at 12 to the dollar when Peña Nieto took office in
December 2012. It recently reached a low of 22.50 to the dollar.

The peso’s drop has had an inflationary impact
on the prices of basic goods and foodstuffs, with the price of beans rising by
12 percent in December alone. The increase in gasoline prices will filter
throughout the economy to further stoke inflation.

A group of specialists
interviewed this week by the newspaper El Universal emphasized
that the gasolinazo will particularly impact those already on
the brink of poverty.

Héctor Villarreal, director
of the Center of Economic and Budgetary Studies, told El Universal that
the gas price hike will make the basic basket of goods inaccessible for many
families, putting around an additional 10 million at risk of falling into
poverty.

While the daily minimum wage of 80.04 pesos
(about US$3.70) went up by 9.4 percent on January 1 along with the 20 percent
increase in gas prices, that was insufficient, said Ricardo Becerra Laguna,
president of the Institute for Democratic Transition Studies, given the fuel
price hike and the fact that prices of basic goods were already on the rise.
Becerra Laguna agreed with Villareal that the rise in gas prices could create a
“nation-wide surge of impoverishment.”

The fall in the peso stemmed in large part from
a lack of confidence by investors in the Mexican economy arising from Donald
Trump’s election victory. Trump campaigned on promises to lower US corporate
taxes, place tariffs on imports from Mexico, forbid or tax remittances from
Mexicans living in the US and deport what could be upwards of 5 million
Mexicans.

Peña Nieto’s approval rating had already dropped
to 30 percent by 2015, due to corruption charges and widespread government
violence, including the disappearance of 43 Ayotzinapa teaching students, who
had been protesting against Peña Nieto’s education reform. It sank into the 20
percent range last summer after he invited Trump to Mexico and then fawned over
him, despite overwhelming Mexican hostility to the then Republican candidate.

Outrage was so high in Mexico that Peña Nieto
made his finance minister and close confidant Luis Videgaray, who had arranged
Trump’s visit, a sacrificial lamb, firing him soon thereafter.

Despite Videgaray being widely despised in
Mexico as a Trump conciliator, earlier this month, Peña Nieto named him as
Mexico’s new Secretary of Foreign Relations, as a sop to Trump. Trump called
Videgaray a “wonderful man.”

Earlier this week Trump stressed that he would
immediately undertake building his promised border “wall,” to be paid for by
Mexico. Although he did not expressly mention this in his inaugural address,
Trump promised to protect the US border from the “ravages” of other countries
“making our products, stealing our companies and destroying our jobs.” This
threat was directed most of all at Mexico and China.

In response, Peña Nieto was able only to express
his deepening subservience to US imperialism. He tweeted his congratulations to
Trump on taking office, calling for a “respectful dialogue” to “strengthen our
relation with shared responsibility.”

Peña Nieto even delivered a present to Trump on
the eve of his inauguration, the expedited extradition on Thursday of Sinaloa
cartel head Joaquín (“El Chapo”) Guzmán Loera to US authorities. This seemed
intended to appease Trump, who had cited drug dealing and violence as part of
his campaign against Mexican immigrants, by suggesting that that the Mexican
government was serious about combating the drug cartels rather than corrupted
by them.

Guzmán Loera had filed a
constitutional “amparo” petition with the Mexican Supreme Court in an attempt
to postpone or defeat extradition. According to the La Jornada newspaper,
the Mexican justices put denial of the amparo on a fast track in response to
pressure from the federal government. Luis Videgaray had already promised such
approval.

Mexico also announced on Thursday that Videgaray
and other Mexican dignitaries will visit Washington DC on January 25 to meet,
undoubtedly on bended knee, with key Trump administration officials, including
chief of staff Reince Priebus, Trump son-in-law and senior adviser Jared
Kushner and senior adviser Stephen Bannon.

While some in the Mexican government have made
demagogic calls for countermeasures to Trump’s policies—Mexico’s economy
Secretary Ildefonso Guajardo suggested in the last week an immediate
“neutralizing” “fiscal response,” that is, a counter-tax—these are not serious
proposals, but rather public relations stunts. The Mexican government will
dance to Trump’s tune.

Forthcoming changes in Mexico’s energy industry
can only further destabilize the economy and the political situation. Mexico’s
energy reform law enacted in 2013 ended the monopoly of Mexico’s national oil
company Petróleos Mexicanos (Pemex) on oil production. After bidding in 2015,
private companies began investing in oil exploration and production in Mexico.

But opening oil refining, transportation and
sales to private investment was put off to 2018, at which point the Mexican
government intended for fuel prices to be brought in line with market prices.
Until then, the government would set prices lower than the cost of production
in the country.

Federal government revenue dropped sharply when
oil prices collapsed in 2014. Despite attempts to hedge oil prices, oil revenue
dropped from 852 billion pesos (about $40 billion) in 2012 to only 408 billion
pesos in 2015. This fall in revenue was exacerbated by lowered interest in
private bidding on Mexican production contracts.

In 2016, the government decided to accelerate
the liberalization of refining and distribution of oil due to this revenue
shortfall. That resulted in the price hike and two additional tax hikes on fuel
sales on January 1.

The gas price increase on January 1 led to
demonstrations throughout the country, which included blocking highways and
fuel depots. They included teachers’ unions, transportation unions, various
social movements as well as ordinary citizens. The protests were largely
organized in a spontaneous fashion on social media, rather than by any
centralized leadership. At the same time, the movement has lacked any coherent
perspective or program.

The Mexican ruling class is too invested in the
energy reform to backtrack on it. But it fears that protests will grow even
larger, particularly if there is a violent crackdown by federal police or even
the army. The already depleted support for Peña Nieto’s Institutional
Revolutionary Party (PRI) could completely evaporate.

The government has resorted to sham “reform”
measures as a political palliative. This week it signed with business leaders
and labor unions an “Agreement for the Economic Strengthening and Protection of
the Family Economy.” The agreement proposes various vague initiatives, such as
maintaining stable prices for basic goods, modernizing public transportation,
encouraging investment and employment and strengthening the rule of law. No one
can take these measures seriously.

Mexico’s so called opposition parties are making
every effort to suppress opposition in the Mexican populace. The right-wing
National Action Party (PAN) has called for lowering fuel prices. However, the
PAN, along with the fake “left” Party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD),
supported the energy reform law, and both still do.

For its part, the PRD has sought to dissipate
the protests, advocating that a million people file amparo petitions with the
Mexican Supreme Court to invalidate the gas price hikes. This is nothing more
than a stunt with no chance of success.

Finally, the National Regeneration Party, or
Morena, headed by Andrés Manuel López Obrador, has called for all sides and
parties to sit down in a show of “unity” to address the price rises. In other
words, this bourgeois party once again seeks to contain opposition within
bounds acceptable to the capitalist ruling establishment.

Others deeply imbedded in the Mexican ruling
class have warned that the country’s institutions are in such a state of
collapse that action at a more fundamental level is required.

Constitutional scholar
Diego Valadés, formerly a Mexican Supreme Court Justice under PRI president
Carlos Salinas de Gortari, told the magazine Proceso this week
that the “institutional apparatus” is no longer responsive to the demands of
society or able to fulfill the basic functions of the state.

Valadés has concluded, given the unprecedented
and deepening distrust of the Mexican population, that the only alternative is
the formation of a coalition government, presumably amongst all major political
parties, or a return to “authoritarianism.” Such authoritarianism likely would
extend to military intervention.

Mexican government, trade unions mobilize against protests to pave the way for Trump

By Rafael Azul and Eric London10 January 2017

Mass protests in Mexico and the looming inauguration of Donald Trump as US president are adding to uncertainty in the Mexican ruling class and among foreign investors over fears of growing social unrest and economic crisis. Ongoing demonstrations continued across Mexico this weekend as Mexicans continue to reject the government’s gas subsidy cut.

As protests continued yesterday, Fiat Chrysler announced that it will shift production of two Jeep models currently being assembled in Mexico to the United States. The announcement came after Ford Motor Company said last week it was rescinding plans to build a new plant in Mexico.

The response of the Mexican government has been to violently repress demonstrations and lay out the welcome mat for Trump. Even though Trump has pledged to deport millions and has called Mexicans “rapists” and “criminals,” President Enrique Peña Nieto appointed Luis Videgaray as foreign minister last week in a direct signal to Trump that the Mexican ruling class is willing to overlook his fascistic, xenophobic program in order to make a profit.

Videgaray is seen as an advocate of close collaboration with the US government and is widely hated in Mexico for organizing a visit by Donald Trump to Mexico City last summer. The anger at this fiasco was so fierce that he was forced to resign as finance minister.

The representatives of US imperialism are thrilled with Videgaray’s appointment and see it as an opportunity to intensify the corporate exploitation of Mexico’s workers and resources.

When Videgaray resigned in September as finance minister, then-candidate Trump tweeted: “Mexico has lost a brilliant finance minister and wonderful man who I know is highly respected by President Peña Nieto. With Luis, Mexico and the United States would have made wonderful deals together.”

This spells disaster for the working class, which is demonstrating by the tens of thousands because they cannot afford the rising cost of living.

On Saturday, protest demonstrations took place in scores of Mexican cities. The demonstrations include teachers, oil workers, and other sections of the working class, despite the fact that there has been no endorsement from the trade unions. Demonstrators clashed with heavily armed police in the Northern border city of Rosarito, with the government forced to fly in federal police from elsewhere in the country. Dozens were wounded in fierce fighting that ensued. The US government decided to close some border crossings this weekend as protests flared.

Common to all the protests has been the demand that Peña Nieto resign together with many of the state governors. There is a widespread feeling that the government, the parties that signed the Pact For Mexico in December 2012, and the trade unions are rapidly losing legitimacy.

Combined with violent repression, the Peña Nieto administration cobbled together a new “pact” over the weekend, called the Economic Strengthening and Family Economic Protection Pact (Acuerdo para el Fortalecimiento Económico y la Protección de la Economía Familiar). Economic Minister José Antonio Meade announced on Monday that the pact was reached with Peña Nieto’s partner parties and with the corporate sector, allegedly to strengthen “four economic poles” which include “the household economy, employment, economic stability and the rule of law.”

The plan includes minor social investments for construction and transport plus austerity policies aimed at cutting the federal budget by 190 billion pesos (US$8.9 billion). The new pact includes the corporatist Union-Management National Productivity Committee (Comité Nacional de Productividad). Under the terms of this new agreement, big business agrees to restrain price increases and the trade unions agree to provide the program with cheap labor.

The leaders of several of Mexico’s major trade unions shamelessly signed the deal, which will result in further cuts to Mexico’s social programs and will be used to advance the government’s privatization plans. The leader of the Confederation of Mexican Workers (CTM) was joined in signing the document by several other union leaders representing the National Auto Workers union and the misnamed Revolutionary Workers and Peasants Confederation (CROC).

The phony pact is aimed at duping protesters and striking workers to return to their jobs so that the reform plan can be successfully carried through. Mexican workers know the worthless value of promises made by the ruling class when faced with opposition from the working masses.

The protests and strikes are at a turning point. The trade unions are working to suffocate the protests with hollow promises, and the forces of the “left,” including Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, are telling the working class and youth that they must calm down and vote for him in the 2018 presidential elections. In the absence of a revolutionary leadership of the working class, the government and its supporters will succeed in stifling the protest movement and forcing through the diktats of the banks and corporations.

There exists in the Mexican working class a long tradition of militancy, hardened over the years by the deep poverty that pervades Mexican social life. But the whole of Mexican history also shows that spontaneity is insufficient for the overthrow of capitalism, which is the root cause of the poverty, inequality and violence dominating Mexico.

The history of the 20th century shows that the working class requires political leadership and historical perspective. Mexican supporters of theWorld Socialist Web Sitemust come forward to help establish sections of the International Committee of the Fourth International and to provide the leadership that will be required to guide the explosive struggles ahead in the direction of world socialist revolution.

Why Mexico will pay for the wall

The debate around Donald Trump's wall has been shaped by liberal and media narratives that focus on illegal immigrants in the U.S. The left has painted a picture of compassion for these immigrants, making them the entirety of the story. Sanctuary cities have declared safe havens for illegal immigrants, without really distinguishing between the good and the bad among them. They have also spun numbers about temporarily declining immigration rates to diminish the significance of the problem. Liberals have labeled opponents of open borders hard-hearted racists.

They instill fear and violence across Mexican society, preventing it from achieving the stable, middle-class society that NAFTA promised.

Where is liberals' compassion, in their self-absorption and attachment to their own narratives, for the honest citizens of Mexico who are victimized in their own country by the criminal gangs fostered and financed by open U.S. borders?

Shutting down the U.S. border will reduce or eliminate the power and wealth of these criminal gangs and their stranglehold over Mexican society. Once they no longer have access to the U.S. border, they will no longer have access to the source of their wealth and power.

Trump's wall will eliminate the reign of terror under which Mexico's honest citizens have lived for a long time. The benefits that a wall will bring to Mexican civil society and to law and order should be reasons for liberals to support Trump's wall. These benefits are also why Mexico, once it has overcome the perceived affront to its dignity, will gladly pay.

Shutting down the U.S. border will also dramatically reduce the flow of illegal drugs into the U.S., with all their negative economic and social consequences.

I'm waiting for a liberal to argue against these benefits, but I haven't found one yet.
